Highly recommended IF it meets your needs.
Hi, I'ved owned my 335i 07 hardtop convertible for almost 5 years now. Purchased used and its been a "gem"! I love the styling, its sexy and sleek and w/o the B pillar I think it looks better than the Coupe. It is my full-time car, so having the best of a hardtop and convertible is wonderful for both sun and snow. Pros - Great looks, great driving, fantastic response, decent to extraordinary service (CPO cars come with 4 year warranty). Cons - Fuel mileage in town/commuting short distances, complex controls & motors (top), limited cargo space in trunk when top down (somewhat limited but not insurmountable), space for rear seat passengers (better be small!) Overall a great car, I want a new one! Best car I've owned!
I have to travel 250 miles for service (warranty) and its had to be "trucked" over the hill (mountains once or twice). BMW paid cost, but it was at best inconvenient.
I typically use mid-grade fuel even though premium is recommended. I've not seen a problem because of my altitude, but less that 15 MPG is average except on the road. Most trips are through the mountains which also decreases the fuel mileage d/t hills
